IMPROV'D TMZBLER-WASHER.

The Schedul eirefen'e toin these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all 'whom it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, vIiLu'umw SGRANNAGE, of Boston, in the county of Sufl'olk, and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvernents *in Tulnbler and Mug-\Vashers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being h'ad to the accompanying drauings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

r1`he nature of my invention consists in combining, with a water-cock, a rose of peculiar construction, and a swivel, the whole so an'anged that if a tumhler is placed upon said swivel, the jets of water flowing tangentially from the rose, will cause the .tuinbler to revolve. i

To enable others skilled in the art to nrake and use my invention, I will proceed to describe its construction and use.

In the drawings- Figure 1 is a peispective view of my invention, as it appears when washing the tuinbler.

`Figure 2 is a Vertical section.

Airepresents a tube, to be fastened to the supplypipe.I a' is a water-passage, terminating in a counter- Sillk ll', fig. 2.

I L, fig. 2, is a valve attached to the stein' E, and so arranged with the tube G that the ``action of the water pressing upward will completely y.close the orifice .in O, thus preventing the water from entering the rose D, unless the valve is pressed down by some force acting through the stem E. 'I'he rose D is provided With a nu'mber of perforations, d' d' d',

Sto., solne of which may be arranged so as to discharge the water spirally. K is a swivel attached to the valvesteni E, carrying a number of arms, H H H.

The operation of my machine is as follows: When there is no weight upon the spindle E, the valve 1s pressed upward against the-lower part of O, closmg the orifice so no water can escape, but if a weight or pressure is brought upon the spindle, the yalve will be pressed downward, and the water Will be dlscharged through the periorations in the rose. If a tumbler be placed upon the arms H H H, as represented in fig. 1, its weight will keep the lvalve open, and allow the water to be discharged into it, and thus cleanse it. As the tumbler is supported upon a swivel, and some of the spray from the rose acts spirally, the tumbler will be revolved, thus insuring the action of the water upon all paits of the interior.

What I claiin as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The swivel K H H H on the stem E, arranged and Operating substantially as described, and for the purpose set forthi 2. The rose D, when provided With tangentiallydischarging orifices d d', Sto., Operating in combination With the swivel K H H H, arranged substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
